CANTLON SETS 110-MILE PACE IN PRACTICE SPIN

Pilot of Miller Four Looms as Threat for Speedway Pole Berth Shorty Has Car Ready for Qualification Trials Saturday; Lou Moore, Lora Corum, Denver and McDonald on Bricks Tuesday for Test Runs. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Following his whirl around the speedway bricks at the fastest speed exhibited thus far this year, Snorty Crxtlon, the Detroit star, today held the attention of railbirds as one of the foremost threats for the "pole” position in Saturday s qualification trials at the Indianapolis track. Cantlon, driving Bill White’s snappy Miller Hi-Speed Special, a Miller four, dazzled the stopwatcning gang with some high powered laps, his fastest being recorded at 110 miles an hour.

Cantlon s Job may be capable of even a bit more speed and it’s a sure fire bet that Shorty will be i counted on when the trials get un- * der way. 1 The way most of the gasoline chariots have been bouncing and sliding over the track, the performance of the White creation was a revelation. The little bus, winding up magnificantly, roared down the straightway and into the turns like the old 91's. Ernie Olsen is the mechanic. That trio. White, Cantion and Olson is going to be tough to beat. a a a Bill, by the way. i* all for challenging your correspondent to a tame of golf. He ■hoots about a hundred. He’ll win. tt n tt Lou Moore was out Tuesday afternoon airing hts Coleman front-drive. The car was acting much better than its last time out and on one lao. Lou was clocked at about 98 miles an hour. tt a tt Just about the time the boys start getting on the bricks for some action the pit gang begins getting In the way. If it were not for Staff Sergeants Lonnie M. Johnson, A. P. Houck and C. T. Biggs, there wouldn’t be any order and everyone would be getting knocked down. Sure, everyone wants out on the brick. The Sergeants keep ’em off. tt tt tt Milton jones’ stutz made another appearance Tuesday afternoon. Lora Corum, co-winner with Joe Boyer in 1924, was at the wheel. It appears that Corum may be the pilot in this year’s race although no definite announcement yet has been made. a a Bill Denver and his Nardi Special were out for some whirls around the oval and the car bounced too much. Something will have to be done to prevent that shaking. tt tt tt j. C. MacDonald end his Romthe also were on the bricks Tuesday. MacDonald is getting the Studcbaker in condition rapidly. tt tt tt t Phil Pardee. Fred Winnai and Ralph Hepburn are more or less fixtures at the track these days. All three probably will secure mounts in this year's race. Freddie's quite the boy, too. You Just can’t erase that smile. tt tt tt Trials on Saturday start at 10 a. m. and continue until sundown. Sunday the tests will commence at 1 p. m. and will continue until sundown. There’s only forty-five cars to be considered now. Juan Guadino. the Argentine, who entered a Chrysler, has withdrawn. It is said he could not get his car ready in lime. tt m * Eddie Edenburn. the A. A. A. representative. who runs this race each vear. was due in the city today to get the “glad hand" from his friends.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa„ Mav 21. Miller huggins’ pet hobby in baseball was “disposition.” Hug used to talk about this quite a bit. He knew his onions all right, and the more I stick around the more I see what Hug meant by disposition. We’ve got a fine example right on the Yankees this

Babe Ruth Says

season ir. Dusty Cooke and Ben Chapman. These two kids came up together from th. 7 same team. Dustv. according to all reports, was a whale of a

ballplayer, one of the best kids to come up in many years. Chapman was supposed to be just average, a good kid but not sensational. What happened? The big leagues, with their crowds and their ballyhoo, got Cooke’s goat. But Chapman found them an inspiration. Ben is playing better ball than he ever played in his life. Dusty is sitting on the bench trying to get used to it all. One had real baseball disposition. The other one didn’t. Don’t misunderstand me. I'm not rapping Cooke. I have a lot of faith in that kid and I think he’ll come through to get the last laugh on a lot of fellows who are panning him now. But difference in disposition gave Chapman the early break.

George Kelly was a victim of his own disposition when he joined the Giants a few years ago. It took him two or three seasons to find himself and forget the howls and Ihe ballyhoo and the cheers. Once he did it he was a great ballplayer, but until he did life was certainly tcugh. Occasionally fellows come along who get by for awhile on their fighting spirit alone. Wid Matthews, who used to be with the A’s and Washington, was like that. As a ballplayer, Wid wasn’t great. But the excitement of the big league keyed him up and for a whole season he played like a house afire. Then he hit his normal stride anji he was soon back in the minors. Incidentally it is disposition that makes pinch hitters. You know some fellows, and good htiters, aren’t worth a nickle as a pinch hitter. And other chaps whose batting average is much less, are bearcats when you send them up there in a pinch. The slow, indifferent type of hitter who forgets the score and just goes up there with his whole mind concentrated on hitting thafc ball is the ideal type for a pinch hitter. That’s why Bob Meusel was always so good in the pinches, and it was disposition of that sort that made Moose McCormick one of the best pinch hitters of all time. Hens Sign Oil Smith B.u Timex Special LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 21.—Earl (Oil) Smith, veteran catcher, made a free agent by the St. Louis Cardinals recently, was signed Tuesday night by the Toledo club and probably will appear in the current series with the Colonels. It is rumored Butch Henline or A1 Devormer will get a trip back to the majors.
